Use Cases

Real blockers. Governed solutions.

These aren't hypothetical demos. They're patterns we've seen block AI adoption in government, construction and enterprise — and exactly the problems ARK360 MCP Gateway is built to resolve.

Government01

Let agents safely call AU government APIs

The situation

A federal agency wants to connect a Microsoft Copilot agent to internal data systems and some public-sector APIs. The use case is clear — but security and the CISO are blocking it. There's no governance, no audit trail, and no way to prove data isn't leaving Australian systems.

The problem

Security blocked direct agent access. No governance layer, no audit, no way to demonstrate data sovereignty compliance.

What ARK360 does

  • Generate governed MCP Connectors for target APIs — internal and external
  • Apply AU-only data residency Policy Preset: no data leaves Australian systems
  • Block any LLM calls that would route PII to non-sovereign infrastructure
  • Provide full audit trail showing every agent call, every policy applied

Outcome

The CISO signs off on the pilot — because they have documented evidence of control, auditability and data sovereignty. Not assurances. Evidence. The team ships the agent in weeks, not the next budget cycle.

Enterprise02

Governed access to internal line-of-business APIs

The situation

An enterprise wants AI agents to query and update records in their ERP, CRM and project management systems. Their IT team has no way to scope what agents can read or write — a mistake by an agent could corrupt operational data.

The problem

No mechanism to scope agent access to specific API operations. Read-write risk without per-agent controls. IT team has no visibility into what agents are doing.

What ARK360 does

  • Wrap each line-of-business API as a scoped MCP Connector — read-only or specific operations only
  • Apply rate limits and IP allowlist Policy Presets to prevent runaway agent calls
  • Require approval workflow for any mutating operations via policy rules
  • Operations dashboard shows every agent, every call, every system touched

Outcome

IT approves agent access — because they can see and control exactly what's happening. Every call is scoped, every write requires approval, every action is logged. Agents become productive across internal systems without creating uncontrolled blast radius.

Construction & Safety03

Audit-ready AI for safety and compliance workflows

The situation

A construction company wants to use AI to surface safety incidents, flag overdue compliance checks and assist site supervisors with HSE queries. But any AI-driven action touching safety data needs to be fully explainable — to regulators, insurers and senior leadership.

The problem

Safety and HSE data has the highest stakes for auditability. Any AI interaction touching this data must be logged, explainable and defensible in a regulatory or insurance context.

What ARK360 does

  • Generate MCP Connectors for safety, incident and asset management APIs
  • Apply WHS-specific Policy Presets: hard limits on mutating safety records without human approval
  • Log every agent query against HSE data with full context and timestamp
  • Produce audit-ready reports showing AI involvement in any safety workflow

Outcome

When the regulator asks 'what did the AI do?', leadership has the answer — timestamped, policy-tagged and audit-ready. The HSE team gets meaningful AI assistance without compromising the integrity of their safety record.
